"Mining in Oklahoma Left Toxic Wasteland Until Indigenous Tribe Brought it Back to Life"
#Oklahoma #Environment #Conservation
Mining made this US tribal area a toxic wasteland. This Indigenous nation brought it back to life https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/mar/15/quapaw-nation-oklahoma-superfund-cleanup
"The arc of history bends towards justice."
- literally propaganda levels of distortion
- justice for whom?
- are you still talking about that weird Greeks -> Romans -> (white) Europeans -> American colonizers inconsistently ethnocentric idea of history?
"The arc of history bends towards material and sociological configurations which have long-term stability."
- true by definition
- highlights value of millennia-old indigenous sociological configurations and knowledge systems that are still around and which could reasonably outlast the current millennium-young self-destructive necropolitical mess
- applicable at any timescale of interest
- hard to say
Unfortunately, "nuclear wasteland" and "Venus" are both material configurations which have long-term stability, but history offers plenty of other options; not every human gets cancer.
